On my day off I decided to indulge myself with some cosmetics shopping. I use both luxury and budget brands; with some products I love to make an investment whilst with others I just easily manage with the cheap ones. This time I decided to splurge a little - but also snatched one wild card too!

I have been looking for a matte, richly pigmented baby pink lipstick for ages. I usually go with Make Up Store lipsticks but now found a beautiful one from MAC. My lips are naturally very dark red so I need my nude lipsticks with lots of pigmentation. This new lipstick turned out to be the perfect subtle blue-toned baby pink for creating the everyday nude lips. The shade is called Snob, which pretty much described my excitement and proudness after trying this one on my lips. Haha ;)

I have been counting on Clinique's quality products for years. I decided to give this eye cream a try after my usual All About Eyes had run out. The Rich version promises even deeper moisturizing and is also much creamier. It really is so important to use an eye cream while regularly using makeup; face cream doesn't always absorb into the eye area and can even cause irritation for those with sensitive eyes. The skin around our eyes usually gets so exposed to daily wear and tear that it surely deserves some extra pampering.

And the wild card... Just couldn't resist this girly makeup keychain from H&M! I doubt I'd be using products of this quality on my everyday makeup, but hey, how handy is this cutie for some quick fixes on the go?! They also had another one with lip makeup, but as eyes are the thing in my look I found this one more practical and also prettier. The price (5€) guarantees that I won't be too sad if this breaks or gets lost. Sometimes you just have the right to be a little vain :)
